Johnny Jet - Travel Expert
Named “the original travel influencer” by Forbes
Fear at the gate. Tears, a canceled dream trip, and three years grounded. That’s where Johnny Jet started—before a last-minute call and a single turned page sent him onto a plane and into a life of travel, family memories, and quietly powerful habits that make journeys work. We sit down with Johnny to unpack how anxiety became fuel, how a first long-haul in business class reframed what’s possible, and why the best “upgrade” is often just being sincerely kind to people who help you fly.
We explore the moments that matter: flying his mom first class to the places she longed to see, logging 20-plus countries with his dad, and teaching his own kids to be calm, capable travelers. The playbook is simple and strong—build packing lists weeks out; photograph prescription labels; carry surplus meds, hearing-aid batteries, and extra glasses; and stash essentials in your personal item even if you check a bag. For families, the iPad-only-on-planes rule turns screen time into a superpower, while planned bathroom breaks and small rituals (like chocolates for crew) create a culture of gratitude your kids can carry for life.
We also get tactical: why carry-on-only unlocks rebooking flexibility, the elevator-bank trick that shaves minutes at big conference hotels, and a safety-aware approach to hotel floor selection. Through it all runs a theme that outperforms points: greet gate agents, thank flight attendants, and be the steady voice when things go sideways. The system remembers how you showed up. If you’re ready to travel smarter—and more human—this conversation delivers both heart and how-to.
